>Jeff: ?DDGIOR 8F RODDInG +72 72
#note Wasn't sure of this one, and a former version of me would have challenged. Made plenty of mistakes in this game, but this wasn't one of them.
>Steve: AEEPQUY K4 QUEE.Y +34 34
#note Interesting situation which never occured to me during the game, is that there is a comparable play that holds on to the QU combo: playing PAYEE at 7E for one point less. Looking at it now I'd choose it, given Jeff's bingo ability. It also plays at E8 if one wants to open up the board.
>Jeff: AAIIRWY L2 RAI +28 100
#note AIRWAY at 7B sets up giant Z and F plays, cleans up the rack, and saves an I for L4 next turn should it stay open. Definitely the play in when behind or in a close game, but Jeff plays it closer to the vest, and given his early lead may be correct to do so.
>Steve: AEHNPUU E5 HEAP +30 64
#note I take the highest scoring play, not wanting to fall too far behind too early. It's a mistake. Duck says 2J PAREU for four less. Long range thinkers might like UNPURE at F4; the 2H placement is too chancy even for my liking.
>Jeff: ABIRTWY 2J WA.TY +38 138
#note Thanks to Jeff for bringing his racks to the party.
>Steve: ADEINUU 1F UNDUE +23 87
#note A chance to show that I took time to learn the new 2s.
>Jeff: BCEILMR 4C BICE +28 166
#note Quackle saves the C-hook for later and plays BRIM for 33 at J6; the F3 placement follows close behind.
>Steve: AAEIIIS -AAIII +0 87
#note You wouldn't think there's a 30-point play available, but there is. And it's wrong.
>Jeff: EILLMRS 2D LIME +24 190
#note F6 ME(R)L
>Steve: BEEFISV 1A VIBE +33 120
#note I guess FIVE is a tad better. Meh.
>Jeff: LOOORSX 1N OX +32 222
>Steve: AEFNRST F7 T.ANSFER +67 187
#note The eight FENESTRA at 6B is safer and scores four more points. Didn't see it, or the anagram.
>Jeff: AELOORS 15B AEROSOL +86 308
>Steve: ?DIILNO 12B DIOL.INs +74 261
>Steve: ?DIILNO -- -74 187
#note Lots of bingos which I didn't see. Misremembered this phony - I actually thought he let me back in the game by challenging.
>Jeff: AALMNTV 11C VAN. +14 322
#note Leaving the proper spelling of DIOLEFIN still available, although he needn't have worried. He did block LIONISED, which I probably would have found.
MAVEN on row 13 is best.
>Steve: ?DIILNO 9D LO.D +25 212
#note Missing the bingo GONIDIAL along with DIOLEFIN.
>Jeff: ALMSTTT 13B MATT. +14 336
>Steve: ?GIINNZ 6H wIZ.NING +89 301
>Jeff: AEFILST N5 I.FLATES +63 399
>Steve: AEGHJPU 6B JUP. +29 330
#note Saving the big H spot for later. Like it's going to still be there. Stupid.
>Jeff: CEIOORT O10 EROTIC +34 433
>Steve: AEGHKRW 11J HAWK.. +32 362
>Jeff: NOOS L10 S.OON +16 449
>Jeff: (ERG) +8 457
